NanoTech Entertainment, a technology company operating through five business units to focus on all aspects of the entertainment industry, has formed a strategic partnership through a financial investment with the Silicon Valley startup, NovoSensus.

As a result of this new partnership, NanoTech will use NovoSensus’ real-time data technology to ensure that NanoTech’s future software and hardware products will utilize the latest methods for gathering analytical data for both its consumer and commercial products.

“NovoSensus is developing some of the world’s most dynamic and competitive real-time data solutions on the market,” Jeff Foley, CEO of NanoTech stated in the press release. “The team Phil has put together is second to none, and we have already been impressed by the technology demonstrations we have seen.

“We are excited NanoTech Entertainment has selected us as a partner for our real-time data technology. Having the backing from one of the fastest growing companies in Silicon Valley is a great endorsement. We look forward to working with Jeff [Foley] and his team as we rollout our technology,” Phil Sakakihara, NovoSensus CEO and seasoned veteran of Silicon Valley stated in the news release.

NanoTech Entertainment today announced the expansion of its executive team with the addition of Aaron Hightower. Mr. Hightower is responsible for the new Casino and Gaming Development Division, bringing over twenty years of experience in gaming design. Previously, Mr. Hightower worked as a lead engineer at IGT where he researched, developed, and presented new technologies and methods for creating compelling video gaming products for the gaming industry.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have Aaron joining us,” stated Jeff Foley, CEO of NanoTech Entertainment. “His experience in repetitive gameplay designs will be invaluable to our team and his familiarity with the Las Vegas market will open even more doors for NanoTech in the gaming industry.”

Mr. Hightower’s specializes in ‘hardcore repeat gameplay’ – games with repetitive actions that result in various outcomes depending somewhat on strategy but mostly on chance. Most commonly, this type of gameplay is associated with arcade games and slot machines. Based in Las Vegas, Mr. Hightower has witnessed firsthand the need to revolutionize this type of gameplay with updated high definition displays.

“Right now there is an opportunity to bring Ultra HD 4K technology to the casino industry,” says Hightower. “NanoTech understands the value of expanding into this market as people will be able to experience 4K gaming in casinos before they have it in their homes. NanoTech is truly bringing the Future of TelevisionSM to consumers, and I am extremely excited to be part of this driven and forward-thinking team.”

NanoTech Entertainment today announced the excellent success of its 35mm film conversion and 4K streaming demonstrations at The American Film Market (AFM) held in Santa Monica, CA, November 6-13. With the technologies, media and entertainment organizations can cost-effectively upgrade their vast libraries of standard and HD content to a resolution that is four times greater than full HD and can stream their films to the increasing number of 4K UHD TV set owners.

4K Studios, a NanoTech subsidiary based in San Francisco, made its debut at AFM. Using proprietary processes, the multi-million dollar facility focuses on the creation of original content shot and mastered in 4K Ultra Hi-Definition as well as the conversion of existing media into 4K digital content with a quality that cannot be acheived by 2K and full HD.

“Industry professionals who viewed the film were not only amazed at the incredible detail and sense of depth they were experiencing, they were surprised that the NanoTech technologies are available now,” said NanoTech Entertainment Vice President of Product Development Alex “Lx” Rudis. “Analysts are predicting robust sales for 4K TVs, but we all know from our experience with HD and 3D that sales will be driven by content availability.”

Futuresource, a specialist in tracking the distribution of entertainment to consumers, expects most global TV brands to launch a range of 4KTVs by the end of this year, with North America expected to be a key market due to the strong consumer appetite for large screens. With TV replacement cycles now at six to eight years, the market potential is there because consumers are ready to replace their early HD screens.

Dataxis, a global business intelligence firm that specializes in the telecom, TV, and media businesses, estimates there will be 2.2 million 4K TV households at the end of 2013, rising to 66.2 million by end-2018.

NanoTech’s Nuvola NP-H1 is a commercial-grade, plug-and-play 4K UltraHD media streaming player that will enable media and entertainment orgs to fill the need for 4K content and drive the demand for 4K devices. The player connects to 4K displays using an HDMI 1.4 output port that supports 5.1 channel audio through the HDMI cable. Designed for tough environments that require 24/7 operation, the NP-H1 is housed in a rugged aluminum case. Optional SSD drive support provides the highest 4K performance.

Jeff Foley, NanoTech’s CEO, commented, “We have had a great relationship with Sadler, Gibb and really enjoy working with their team. They have a great dedicated team and already have a wonderful foundation with NanoTech making them the natural choice to work with us as we continue to expand.”

NanoTech made news earlier this year when it announced its intention to move up to the OTCQB at its Annual Shareholders Meeting. This move is the first step to uplisting further to a next level exchange, and is just another sign of the company’s continued growth.

NanoTech continues to grow and expand, having recently moved out of the research and development phase. The company expects to continue expanding during the second half of 2013.

Consumer expectations for entertainment are constantly changing, looking for new or enhanced formats or ways for engagement. Companies that hope to keep pace with that demand must move forward with great creative fervor, innovating new ways to deliver compelling entertainment, improving existing material, or creating products and technologies that reinforce an existing product or technology’s capabilities.

Entertainment technology company NanoTech Entertainment is an example of just that. Since mid-2011, it has charged ahead with full aplomb, exploring and creating new technologies and products for multiple facets in the entertainment industry through five business units. Among these five enterprises, NanoTech Entertainment’s three earlier-established business units, NanoTech Gaming Labs LLC, NanoTech Media, and NanoTech Communications, have been instrumental in positioning NanoTech Entertainment into strong industry footholds for targeting and meeting current and ever-evolving entertainment consumption trends.

Specifically, NanoTech Entertainment’s three established business units are involved in the following areas:

1) NanoTech Gaming Labs’ focus is on development of technologies and products for the gaming market and licensing them to third-parties for manufacturing and distribution. Specific niches of focus within the gaming market include the social, consumer, coin-op, and casino niche markets. The company’s team is filled with seasoned gaming industry veterans who have been collectively responsible for dozens of award-winning products and multi-million-copy-selling video games and technology.

Many of NanoTech Gaming’s creations enhance or improve existing pinball or arcade game systems and technology or deliver customized gaming experiences to users in those same formats.

2) NanoTech Media is NanoTech Entertainment’s venture into the emerging Internet Protocol Television Market (“IPTV”). This enterprises pledges “to change the future of television” by harnessing new technologies it develops and original content it publishes on a wide range of content delivery platforms. The platforms include the Roku streaming player, a market leader in streaming entertainment devices for TV; Android; iPhone; iPad; BlackBerry; Windows Phone; and PCs and Mac computers with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Opera browsers accessibility.

For published original content delivery demands, NanoTech Media offers four channels with highly unique niche or interest targets:

Big App Show, a daily interactive channel for mobile phone platform users that features full-screen demos of the latest and hottest ‘gotta-have-‘em’ apps.

No Agenda, a compelling, free-flowing discussion of current events and social news with unique spins, humor, and flavorful commentary.

TechnoTV, a channel that features dance music from the hottest clubs and DJs in the world along with a rotating playlist.

Ambiance Digital Environments, a channel that lets channel surfers simulate in HD on their TVs multiple environments such as a fireplace, fish aquarium, or the depths of the ocean with just the touch of a fingertip.

3) NanoTech Communications is an emerging force in the mobile or smartphone space, focusing on development of technology and apps for the iPhone, iPad, and Android platforms. It is NanoTech Entertainment’s most recently created enterprise of the three. The company publishes original apps, licenses, and distributes licensed apps, as well as develops and licenses proprietary mobile technology to third parties. It promises to usher in a new future for entertainment in the smartphone industry.

Current available data for 2013 company performance shows that NanoTech Entertainment has bringing in record revenues thus far. With the strong number of partnership formations it has formed in 2013 and the potential it seems to hold for the future, NanoTech Entertainment is a solid position to keep up-to-speed with changes in consumer expectations and scale to new, industry-defining peaks of entertainment content delivery and experience-providing.

NanoTech Entertainment, a technology company that focuses on all aspects of the entertainment industry, is now a member of the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) Licensee Group.

HDCP is an encrypted protocol that prevents unauthorized access to protected content. All NanoTech HDMI® (high-definition multimedia interface) products are designed to be fully HDCP compliant, which enables customers to copy protected content across their networks.

As a member of the licensing group, NTEK’s HDMI®-based products, including the upcoming Nuvola NP-1™, NP-C™ and NP-S1™ , will be fully compatible with all content-protected video sources and HDCP-compliant monitors, projectors, or other display devices.

NTEK CEO Jeff Foley says HDCP membership enables the company to provide its customer base with the highest level of protection of digital content.

“Becoming an HDCP licensed member and adding HDCP support is an important step for NanoTech to guarantee its content providers and customers the compatibility and reliability they require,” Foley stated via news release. “We are delivering The Future of Television with our state of the art Nuvola family of products, and it’s vital that we provide the most comprehensive protection of intellectual property that can be offered.”

Following an extensive testing process of all leading scanner manufacturers, NanoTech Entertainment reports that it has acquired two Director Ultra HD 4K motion picture film-scanning systems from Lasergraphics, a designer and manufacturer of high resolution, high speed film recording and scanning systems for the motion picture industry.

NTEK is a diversified technology company that focuses on all aspects of the entertainment industry. The company selected The Director for 4K Studios new facilities in San Francisco, and noted the system’s 4K resolution, high dynamic range and optical pin registration features, among other desirable features.

According to NTEK, The Director beat out competition because of its increased range of dynamic image quality, on-the-fly dust and scratch detection/reduction capability, scanning speed, and ease of use. Lasergraphics’ double and triple-flash High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology allows the scanner to capture more shadow detail from print film than any other scanner on the market.

“We have invested heavily into acquiring content now that we have the ability to stream Ultra HD 4K content into the home,” NTEK CEO Jeff Foley stated in the new release. “We tested several solutions, and the quality of output we were able to achieve with the Lasergraphics solution was unmatched. We are have already queued up several customers and are looking forward to bringing the ‘Future of Television’ to homes this fall.”

Steve Klenk, president of Galileo Digital, the exclusive distributor for Lasergraphics added, “We are very excited for the opportunity to work with the NanoTech team. By combining our phenomenal film scanners with the 4K Studios proprietary post-production process, the results are absolutely stunning. Consumers are going to finally get the Ultra HD 4K content to display on their new TV sets this year.”

The acquisition of the two systems is complementary to NTEK’s recent introduction of the world’s first Ultra HD 4K streaming media player, the Nuvola NP-H1. The company later this quarter said it is also releasing the nVidia Tegra 4, which is based on the Nuvola NP-1 and NP-C players.

Today before the opening bell, NanoTech Entertainment announced that it has partnered with Ciao Entertainment and Television, a global provider of telecommunications products and services with headquarters in the U.S., to manufacture and market televisions and media players in Brazil.

Currently one of the largest, fastest growing consumer markets in the world, Brazil has over 17 million households currently subscribing to pay-tv services. According to Brazil’s communications minister Paulo Bernardo, his department sees this growth continuing to a massive 40 million “within 3 to 4 years.” Through this partnership, NanoTech and Ciao will seek to capitalize on these growth trends by manufacturing and marketing high quality state of the art televisions and media players for the Brazilian market.

Ciao has recently invested in factories in Santa Rita De Sapucai, Minas Gerais, Brazil for the production of mobile communication devices including mobile phones, smart phones, tablets, and mobile device components. This experience will help expedite the process for the new partnership in setting up production for NanoTech designed products. Ciao Telecom will be responsible for the distribution of the consumer devices throughout Brazil.

Commenting on the announcement, David Swanson, Vice President of Operations for NanoTech stated, “We are very excited to announce this partnership, which marks an important step toward the Global expansion of NanoTech’s products and Technology helping make NanoTech a truly multinational company.”

NanoTech CEO Jeffrey A. Foley added, “We are pleased to be partnered with such as strong company. Given Ciao’s size and reach in Brazil, we are anticipating several million dollars in sales in the first six months. Ciao Telecom is a multinational telecommunication services provider with operations in the United States, Brazil, Europe and the Middle East. Ciao Telecom has especially deep knowledge of the Brazilian market and close connections with many organizations in Brazil. Together with Ciao, we are extending our global reach in providing the Future of Television.”

Eugenio Santos, Ciao’s chairman and CEO commented, “In addition to our telecommunications offerings and IPTV based entertainment services, we will now provide a complete solution to the consumer including the Television, Set Top Box, and content services. Ciao is also combining our wireless offers with consumer and small business security products that protect property and integrate with Ciao mobile service.”

Santos continued, “This partnership will provide our customers with the best value state of the art video equipment. We plan to release more detailed information on our distribution programs shortly. Having the unparalleled IPTV technology and products that NanoTech offers combined with the Global Reach of Ciao is a winning formula. I’m excited about the opportunity for us to expand IPTV foreign language offerings in North America as well as brining 4K UltraHD to South America.”

NanoTech Entertainment, a technology company with a diverse portfolio of products spanning five technology business units focused on the entertainment industry, has acquired 4K Studios, a cutting-edge production facility in San Francisco, Calif.

4K Studios will be responsible for the creation of original content in 4K ultra hi-definition, as well as the conversion of existing media into 4K digital content.

The studio operation will be overseen by NanoTech’s LX Rudis, who said, “We are very excited in the proprietary processes that have been developed and are now owned by 4K Studios that will make our 4K UltraHD content the best that consumers will be offered …”

“The Future of Television includes 4K UltraHD in a big way. Unlike 3D which never really gained traction in the market, 4K has no physical or hardware limitations for global adoption. We feel that in order for us to continue to be a leader in the 4K market we need to be able to provide content as well hardware and services,” NanoTech CEO Jeffrey A. Foley stated in the press release. “San Francisco has a great talent pool in the media space, and we already have some highly skilled staff joining the 4K Studios team. This is a significant investment of cash and stock for us to create this studio, however we believe that it will provide a substantial return on our investment in a matter of months, not years, as we already have several customers lined up with multiple projects queued for production.”

4K Studios will work with content owners to provide 4K UltraHD conversions of their content as well as the ability to reach consumers with their content through the upcoming NanoFlix UHD streaming 4K UltraHD channel.

“We realize that in order for us to be a market leader in this space, we need to make large investments now,” said NanoTech Director Ted Campbell. “Our plan has this investment paying back in multiples in the next fiscal year and will truly help us in continuing to be a market leader.”

Before the opening bell, NanoTech Entertainment announced that it has partnered up with Global Outdoor Concepts, the leading provider of next generation technology for outdoor Televisions. Global Outdoor Concepts will be debuting its new 4K UltraHD MirageVision product at the upcoming CEDIA EXPO 2013 in Denver, CO, on September 25th through the 28th. The MirageVision 4K UltraHD Display will be powered by the NanoTech 4K UltraHD Nuvola media player, the world’s first streaming 4K UltraHD player.

Dale Potts, CEO of Global Outdoor Concepts, commented, “We are very excited about the amazing resolution provided by the new 4K UltraHD products. NanoTech has provided us with their innovative Nuvola media player and amazing 4K UltraHD content that really shows off our MirageVision products. We are very enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with NanoTech.”

Attendees of the CEDIA EXPO 2013 can see the demonstrations of the MirageVision products powered by NanoTech by visiting booth #3856.

NanoTech Entertainment, a technology company with a diverse portfolio of products and technology for the entertainment industry, has opened its East Coast research and development facility located south of Boston in East Bridgewater, Mass.

With the successful set-up of the facility under wraps, NTEK says it has plans to further expand its east coast presence early next year.

“We are very excited about the rapid growth of our NanoTech R&D team,” said NanoTech vice president Philip Foley, who is heading up the new operations. “We have several ground breaking mobile apps about to enter the market, all of which have been developed by my team. We have recently hired fifteen new employees that will be working 3 shifts, expanding both our development team and support infrastructure.”

NTEK Director Ted Campbell said the company has strengthened its team with recently recruited “world-class talent” from the Boston area and offered insight as to what the new operations mean for the future.

“The NanoTech Communications team, headquartered in the new facility, is preparing to launch multiple mobile phone and tablet applications. The release of the new apps combined with the needed additional development and support for the growing library of streaming media products has fueled our expansion. This office gives us a strong presence in New England,” Campbell stated. “With the coming shipments of multiple new consumer products, we anticipate continuing the expansion including the opening an east coast warehouse and distribution center in the near future.”

Foley concurs, saying, “NanoTech has seen tremendous growth in the past year, bringing world class products to the market. We are extremely excited about the new members of our team joining us as we continue to deliver The Future of Entertainment.”

NanoTech Entertainment today told the investment community that it has begun shipping its first 4K UltraHD Set Top Computer, the Nuvola NP-H1. Pricing for the NP-H1 starts $699, which is nearly half the price of the other available devices in this space. The units are in stock and ready for delivery. Customers may order them online at www.NP-H1.com or by contacting the NanoTech sales department at 1.408.414.7355.

“Many commercial customers are now preparing to deploy trade show and other commercial displays showing off 4K UltraHD technology. NanoTech is a leader in the deployment and delivery of 4K UltraHD content, and we have already partnered with several companies to provide the path to delivering 4K UltraHD Demonstrations using our technology and systems,” said LX Rudis, NanoTech’s Media Group, Senior VP of Development. “With 4K TVs able to deliver a vibrant and natural picture that is four-times sharper than high definition, vendors need a robust solution to display content that can be used in an embedded environment. The NP-H1 is a great example of how NanoTech continues to lead the market in bringing professional 4K UltraHD entertainment solutions for commercial customers.”

NanoTech CEO Jeffrey A. Foley added, “We are extremely excited to be the vanguard of the 4K UltraHD movement. We feel the Nuvola NP-H1 will be a great success as it provides an immediate embedded solution at an affordable price. The NP-H1 is extremely flexible with a variety of I/O ports eSATA and USB connections that allow for the installation of an assortment of accessories, options and storage attachments.

NanoTech Entertainment, a technology company focused on all aspects of the entertainment industry, has expanded its online infrastructure as it prepares to release of its newest 4K UltraHD streaming services.

The company today reported that it has extended its multi-year contract with Hurricane Electric for use of its datacenter in Fremont, Calif. NTEK has expanded its lease, tripling its footprint for its state-of-the art servers and enabling the company to keep pace with its growing video library and storage demands.

“This expansion allows us to support over 50,000 hours of video content. Given our continued expansion of HD, Over the Top, Video on Demand channels, combined with our new 4K UltraHD content, we need to be prepared for the increased demand on our infrastructure,” Jeffrey A. Foley, NTEK CEO stated in the press release.

Foley praised Hurricane Electric as a complementary partner and noted its position as the leading IPv6 native Internet Backbone backed by a strong facility and support staff.

“Given our exponential growth, and the amount of data that we will be streaming as we move from HD to 4K UltraHD, we require a solid basis for our technology. It is very important to have selected the best technology partners in this space as we migrate our global network to the IPV6 backbone,” he stated.

Hurricane Electric is the most dominant Autonomous System (AS) in the global IPv6 transit topology, according to University of California research presented at the International Measurement Conference (IMC) in November of 2012. The company employs resilient fiber-optic topology and has at least four redundant paths crossing North America, two separate paths between the U.S. and Europe in addition to rings in Europe and Asia. Hurricane Electric first deployed IPv6 in 2001, and now offers IPv6 as a core service.

“Our early investment in IPv6 is paying off not only for Hurricane Electric, but also for our customers around the world,” said Mike Leber, president of Hurricane Electric. “Given the depletion of the IPv4 address space, we expect continued strong growth in demand for IPv6 connectivity and services.”

The company’s Clear Memories is a global leader in 3-D ice carving and manufacturing technology.

It’s been a busy year for entertainment-focused technology company NanoTech Entertainment, replete with partnerships, expansions, as well as acquisitions, and the company shows no signs of slowing down.

In March, NanoTech jumped full-force into 2013 with almost rapid-fire announcements, heralding developments like exclusive agreements forged with London-based Electrocoin Sales Ltd. and Wisconson-based Fun Company, the acceptance of an invitation to join the DNA Association as a founder member, and the launch of the branded lifestyle channel Clubben TV.

In April, NanoTech’s momentum continued with the announcement of a new company-branded channel called NanoTales, featuring illustrated audio books for children read by authors from across the globe. A channel called Inside NanoTech was launched in May, along with another branded channel called NanoBooks. Also in May, NanoTech announced the advent of Nuvola NP-1, its 4K media player, and NanoFlix UHD, its 4K steaming video service.

Headquartered in San Jose, Calif., NanoTech is focused on redefining the role of developers and manufacturers in the global market. The company was acquired by Aldar Group in 2009 and soon after went public as NanoTech Entertainment. NanoTech now has five technology business units, respectively focused on 3-D, gaming, media and IPTV, mobile apps, and manufacturing.

NanoTech Entertainment is engaged in all facets of the entertainment industry, operating through five technology businesses that encompass 3D, gaming, media & IPTV, mobile apps, and manufacturing. The company’s strategy to success is finding potential in specific technology segments with room for future growth, and according to analytical firm iDate, the IPTV market offers just that.

iDate recently projected an increase in global video and TV revenues to $648 billion in 2017 from revenues of $526 billion last year. The firm’s research suggests that while cable will continue to have an upper hand in the industry, it will lose subscribers to IPTV providers, which is expected to be used in approximately 8.5 percent of TV households in the next four years.

NTEK’s entrance into the emerging IPTV market is through its NanoTech Media unit, which leverages cloud-based servers to enable worldwide optimized delivery of NTEK programming. The business unit is focused on developing a variety of technology and content published on the Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and other TV platforms, with options for smartphones currently in the works.

The business strategy thusfar is paying off. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, NTEK recorded record quarterly sales of $818,185, beating projections by 10 percent, and posting its turn to profit with net income at $172, 644. Company CEO Jeff Foley in a press release attributed the increase in sales to expansion within the gaming and media industries, and forecasts continued growth as the company executes its plan to increase the number of streaming TV channels it offers.

Director Ted Campbell offered similar sentiment, saying, “We are very optimistic about our future strength as we continue to improve the balance sheet combined with our reduction in share overhead. We believe that we have entered a new phase for NanoTech, strengthening the company and putting it firmly on solid ground.”

NanoTech Entertainment is a technology company focused on the convergence of the entertainment industry, executing a business strategy to capitalize on the overlap within the gaming, media, and communication markets.

To achieve this mission, the company operates through three key business divisions: NanoTech Gaming Labs, NanoTech Media, and NanoTech Communications.

NanoTech Gaming Labs operates as a virtual manufacturer of its own technology and games, which it licenses to third parties for manufacturing and distribution, which drastically cuts overhead.

NanoTech Media develops proprietary technology which is licensed to publishers for compatibility within their own products as well as creating and publishing unique content.

The company develops and sells its proprietary apps and technology for the mobile and consumer space through its NanoTech Communications business.

As evidenced by the company’s recent fourth-quarter results, NanoTech’s grasp of the gaming and media markets in particular are paying off. Revenues for the quarter outpaced projections by 10 percent to $818,185 as the company achieved its first quarter of profits at $172,644.

NanoTech CEO Jeff Foley said management anticipates continued growth as the company increases its original and licensed content, further strengthened by new products from each of the three NanoTech divisions.

NanoTech Entertainment, an entertainment technology company, announced today through its annual financial reporting that it has achieved its first quarterly profit. Projected quarterly revenues surpassed management expectations by 10% for the period ending June 30, 2013.

NanoTech attributes its success to expansion into the gaming and media industries. Jeff Foley, CEO of NanoTech, said that he expects continued revenue growth into the next quarter. “We expect to continue to grow as we increase the number of streaming television channels that we offer, featuring both original and licensed content. We are also excited about the upcoming release of new products from each of our divisions.”

NanoTech is poised for continued expansion with the recent acquisition of new products. Total revenue from the fiscal fourth quarter showed an extraordinary increase of 217% to $818,185 from $257,551 in the previous quarter. NanoTech continues to perk up its balance sheet by reducing liabilities. Liabilities for the fiscal fourth quarter were reduced to $115,931, down from $1,435,590 in the previous quarter.

NanoTech Entertainment focuses on several aspects of the gaming industry through its operation of five technology business units, concentrating on 3D, Gaming, Media & IPTV, Mobile Apps, and Manufacturing. The company has a unique business model by developing and licensing its games to third parties thereby keeping its overhead lower while streamlining operations.

During today’s afternoon trading session, NanoTech Entertainment announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Silicon Valley based Worldwide Global Entertainment. The acquisition is effective immediately and the NanoTech Media division will be instantaneously expanded with the Worldwide staff as a result.

“We are extremely excited about the opportunity to help expand our Media division,” stated Jeffrey A. Foley, NanoTech CEO. “Worldwide’s management team brings a wealth of experience and contacts to NanoTech. Given our continued expansion in the home entertainment space, having a team of seasoned veterans join us to help expand our library of unique content is a welcome addition to the team. Worldwide has been working on several great products that will fit nicely in our lineup.”

Pete Crowley, will immediately take a position as Vice President of Sales for NanoTech Media. Crowley commented, “I’ve really enjoyed working with the NanoTech team over the past few months and am very excited to become an integral part of the team. I’ve got a long history of media production and development and combining my experience with the amazing NanoTech technology is going to be very exciting.”

Peter Riordan, CFO of Worldwide, will join NanoTech as Vice President of Strategic Planning. “I’ve been impressed with the forward looking strategies that the NanoTech team has employed, both in business and technology. I’m looking forward to being part of the management team that helps continue to guide the company,” stated Riordan.

NanoTech Director Alan Stone closed by adding “The Worldwide team has a lot of great projects that will be significantly enhanced by deploying them on the global delivery infrastructure that NanoTech has set up. By using the NanoFlix IPTV/OTT platform, these projects will get to market quickly on a wide variety of devices. This relationship will help us in continuing to deliver The Future of Television.”

In the last 20 years, Hannover House has transitioned from a boutique book publisher into a full-service media company, becoming the first studio distributor with a dedicated Roku-enabled IPTV site, leveraging strategic partnerships in its path to continued growth and opportunity.

The company is currently focused on a joint-venture (JV) project with NanoTech Entertainment to commercialize the VODwiz, a pay-per-video/video-on-demand (VOD) portal, for which the JV has deployed a beta-launch in preparation for its upcoming consumer roll-out.

NTEK is a technology company is engaged in all aspects of the entertainment industry, operating through three business units focused on gaming, media & IPTV, and mobile apps, complementary to HHSE’s consolidated offering of film, television, and video programming. The JV leverages both companies’ expertise to design and launch the VODwiz Web site (www.VODwiz.com) and IPTV channel designed as a destination site that provides consumers with the ability stream thousands of independent films and major studio titles directly into their home televisions, computers, over the Internet, or mobile device.

Throughout upcoming weeks and months the JV anticipates adding titles from more than a dozen studio labels to reach a short-term goal of at least 2,000 titles for streaming. The long-term goal is to establish VODwiz as a destination for all mainstream and independent programming, offering an alternative to existing VOD sites such as Netflix and iTunes, which have a limited selection of titles.

The revenue model is to price most programming between $0.99 and $2.99, with higher pricing for special events and select major studio titles.

“Hannover managers feel that the VODwiz venture offer presents a major revenue opportunity for the company based on industry data for existing Video-On-Demand sites and the strong support that the VODwiz concept has received from the independent film distribution community,” HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson and President Fred Shefte stated in a recent business overview. “Delivery of films to consumers via Video-On-Demand methods enables Hannover House to avoid the costs of manufacturing, shipping and storing of videos, and also results in a near-instantaneous payment transaction.”
